Synthesis

Seamless Support

Ensuring a seamless and pixel perfect experience throughout the exhibition involved going to extraordinary lengths to re-edit and fine tune every minute detail behind the story to ensure the spell was never broken.

Precise Execution

Being flexible and developing protocols such as device agnostic cabling that allowed for seamless iteration as and when creative challenges arose. Close collaboration with Sennheiser was key to unfold a journey through music and time using precise audio tracking.

Customised Experience

Our prowess in producing meticulous engineering detail enabled us to contrive clandestine and custom built technology to covertly deliver music and film amongst priceless artefacts; all housed within this fragile, historic building.

Creative Ambition

Through comprehensive visualisation of the V&A’s curatorial ambition we were able to create a landmark London show to evoke the 1960’s counterculture revolution that would conjure rather than recreate the spirit of the era.

What the Client Says

“It is important today to bring together diverse technologies in an exhibition. We wanted to present an exhibition that pushes the limits of the exhibition concept”.

- Martin Roth, Director & Geoffrey Marsh, Curator at V&A

What the Press Say

“A dizzying trip to the heart of the 1960s.”

- The Guardian

What the Press Say

“The show ends perfectly with a look forward to the future — computing and environmentalism at the fore — as we listen to John Lennon's Imagine and head to the exit filled with optimism.”
